I never expected Asa's mother to be such a important character in the series.

Uhm... shouldn't there be some kind of alarm or something if someone get's disconnected from the ECG?

I'm gonna flip out if Asa dies. That's all I have to say. Rin better save her. Ama-chan's such a good mother~~ I understand why she doesn't want to use magic but she's taking it a little too far >< Everyone - Rin and Ama-chan especially - are suffering a huge deal because of it. Waahhh....

Hmm ... pretty dramatic episode, but why wouldn't she use magic? Her explanation seems illogical, she doesn't want to hurt he mom but her containing her magic is hurting her anyway and the people around her. But also yeah no alarms when she just walked off and all =/? Well I guess it's all for the drama.

Asa no baka. She should just realize that it's not the demon/magic skills inside her that they are worried about but her health.
Rin should have just told her that everyone is suffering with her and that neither he nor Ama want to even risk losing her.

Jeez I'm really starting to hate Asa, she's so stupid -_- If she doesn't want to see her mother crying again she shouldn't die, is that so hard to understand? I really disliked the episode, there's no logic and she's just pissing me off, she doesn't even have a good reason not to use her magic >.<

Asa's mother: "Rin, I'm sorry for keeping this [elf-style ears] from you. Are you surprised? It's a secret tho, please don't tell anyone."

Seriously? So the batshit insane behaviour was just to somehow draw attention off the hat with fucking kitty-ears she was wearing all the time. I applaud you, writers of this show. You got me there. Never in a million years would I have seen that coming.

You really either need to lay off this type of anime, or learn to go with the flow more often. Most anime are not what you call realistic, or movies for that matter.

I have a question... How did Rin not hear her wake up? Or feel her move from the bed? Or anything? Considering he was talking in his sleep, he probably wasn't sleeping all that well... AND ASA. GET BACK IN BED... And Ama, doesn't it hurt to press your ears down like that?

Regards,
Komiya

Ok why the fuck isnt she using her magic? She gave basically no reason and it was a stupid one at that.

Right ... she wants to do all this stuff, but doesnt think its worth to use magic power to actually make it true.

Yeah you don't wanna worry your mother... so you better not use magic and die. Flawless logic. Once again these characters proof that they're braindead beyond belief.

The reason why Asa wont use magic is because if she used magic, she will accept that she is demon herself. She has a pride as a self proclaimed human.

Is she going to die next episode or not? Either way this will turn into Asa ending.

Her reasoning for not using magic is utter nonsense lmao

And again, Rin shows that he is an absolutely thoughtless person. Of course she is going to worry about her daughter. How the fuck can you say something like that to her? What a moron.

Seriously? that's her only reason? doesn't she realize that once she dies she'll bring grief not only to her mom, but to Rin and everyone else too? Asa is so stupid.

The best cure is for Rin to fuck her brains out and absorb the magic within her through their deep connections. Rance style! hehe

How in the fuck is Asa not a half-breed if one of her parents are full devil? Either way, she somehow inherited magic but not the rest of? Like, I don't think genetics work like that? @_@

Also, to Asa, humans can use magic. There are a lot of accomplished human wizards and witches. Using magic doesn't make you any less human, if anything it makes you way cooler. Use your magic, be reasonable.

"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"

This has got to be the most contrived and superfluous drama arc yet. Asa can cure herself using magic, but doesn't use it because of an arbitrary fixation on being "human", a state which wouldn't be changed regardless of her use of magic.

Some inherent value being ascribed to "humanity" never made much sense to me, despite its prevalence in media. What species you are is of no consequence to the value of your person. These fictional races all share the same intelligence and cognitive capabilities anyway.
